In this case the 'Load Source' is in fact the tape.

For some VTLs you cannot IPL from a 'library' it must be defined as a 'Tape Drive' (Cybernetics for one.)

I have the tape the BRMS report says to load up in a drive on the VTL media library.

Double checked:

Why is it looking for a load source on a D IPL?
